Hi seniors,

I have questions about travel history

It is asking the travel history in past 10 years...

Can I know if we really need to listed every travel in past 10 years ?



In addition ,
Regarding proof of fund:

I only started opening an account 6 months ago and now I have sufficient funds after depositing it gradually in past 6 months .

It means my avg 6 months balalbce would be below the required amount although I am having sufficient found since 6th month.

May anyone could suggest if my 6 months bank statements would be sufficient ?
Hi,

1- yes, you must enter all your trips, in my opinion, including those to your home country if you are not living there.
2- You will be ok. All you need to do is submit your 6 months statement and explain the source of the funds in your LOE.

Regards

Hi,
I have a couple of questions. Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
First question is : Should I have the money in my account when I submit my Express Entry profile ??
Secondly, if I claim in my application that I will bring 20,000 CAD to Canada, should they be lying in my account for six months??
If not then for how long? And how much difference does this make in the decision of my application ?
Thanks

Thanks Tanaka ! Can she simply type the gifts deed on plain paper , sign and send me via email? OR does she need to go to get the deed from a lawyer in canada with currency in Indian Rupees and send me ?

I would suggest she goes to a lawyer and signs the deed before them. This add legal validity. The currency can be in CAD.

All the best

Hi,

1- not necessarily. One can create a profile without the funds in your account.
2- The most straightforward way to do it is to have funds sitting in the account for 6 months, however you dont have to do this. If the funds are in the account for less than 6 months, you will need to submit a bank statement for the last 6 months and provide evidence of the source of these funds, eg, a gift deed or asset disposal records.
If all is clear, it will not affect your application at all.

All the best

I have a question about the point C
C) You need to have at least one year continuous, full-time (at least 30 hours per week/1560 hours per year) or equivalent part-time experience in an occupation that is categorized under NOC 0, A or B in the past 10 years.
So I have been working as a retainer for a Canadian company for 10 months from another country, and then I moved to Quebec, Canada to work full tine in the office, again for 10 months. I was wondering if it will count as a one year continuous employment. Can anyone help me clear this situation?

Hi,
I am making my express entry profile. Someone told me that I need to have the required funds in my bank account NOW i.e. at the time of submission of my profile. Is that so??
Secondly, if the answer is no, if I get ITA, I need to provide 6 months statement of my account, right?
My question is : do I need to have the full required amount (CAD 15,772) throughout the six months OR from the time of application will be fine??
Please advise me clearly regarding this. I am really confused and uncertain.
Thanks

Hello! I am pretty confused because my agent claims that we need to upload the original document (scanned in colour) and its English translation. Still, the website of IRCC claims that we need certified photocopies (notarized) and original translations. Is there anyone who did the first way (only originals and original translations) and had no problems at all?

Hello! Sorry for interrupting, I think that you can help me, since you certainly went through this phase.

Hi, I uploaded the original's color scanned copies on my express entry profile. You do not need certified copies scan.

Hi,

435 is a good score, be patient and you should get an ITA soon. Also look into Ontario PNP or adding another qualification to your bachelor's degree.
